In 1987, Hat Trick was ported onto the Atari 7800 by Atari. Capcom USA published versions for both the Commodore 64 and DOS. Hat Trick, particularly the Atari 7800 version, were poorly recieved. The game has taken heavy criticism for its unresponsive controls and poor animation.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
